Title: Registrations for Monmouthshire
Post by: Nanny McPhee on Saturday 17 March 18 21:25 GMT (UK)

I have ancestors who lived in Bedwellty and also Abertillery.  Where would they register their BMD's?  Could they possibly have gone as far as using Abergavenny, Monmouth or Newport?  Also.... pushing my luck a bit!  Where are all our ancestors buried?  There are a number of churches, chapels, graveyards in every County but my relies do not appear in any of them most of the time? Thank you in anticipation?

Parishes and history of Bedwellty Registration District:

and Abergavenny Registration District:

E.G. Bedwellty itself was in Abergavenny RD from 1837 until 1861, and then in Bedwellty RD from 1861 until 1974 ;D

Abertillery parish wasn't created until 1894, from  part of the parish of Aberystruth.
Abertllery was in Bedwellty RD from 1894 until 1974.
As part of the parish of Aberystruth, it was in Abergavenny RD from 1837 until 1861, and in Bedwellty RD from 1861 until 1894.

Thanks very much for that information, I didn't give a thought to looking there.  This may help me quite a lot.  No ironing for me again today then  :D
